So I've had this mod planned out in my head for the last...2 years probably. I started it once, but put it on the back burner until I had more time. Well, I finally found the time and dug out the box-o-parts. 6 hours of work later, and I'm ready to put the assembly together (yes, I'm keeping it secret for now!) I get it 95% of the way together, and a wire snaps loose. !@#$. Reheat the soldering gun, fix it, begin reassembly. Another one comes off....!@#$. The good news is, it wasn't my fault! Those connections came from the people I ordered the parts from. The bad news is, theres 20 of these damn things, with 2 wires on each. 40 places for potential failure just on their end...take into account of how I have it all wired up...more like 80 places for failure, though I have confidence in my soldering skills so a cold-joint is not one of my worries. I ended up saying f-it, I can be one-component down and nobody would know any better. I forced the last 3%, and managed to cut through a wire. !@$%. I almost through my project on the ground

I may go with the original plan, but for now I'm now looking an alternative method. I think it'll impress some people in the end, but all I really care about is making ME happy with it at this point.
